Caviezel would be excellent but is devout Catholic I doubt he would do it. Not saying anything against him I actually respect him for having such strong convictions. He has played villians before but only if they end up paying for it in the end. I should also add he is a nice guy and doesn't try to push his beliefs like some others in this town who shall remain nameless................Anybody got a couch(LOL)

I don't really view someone like Fiennes as a risk. He is recognizeable, and is a proven actor... He doesn't have major mojo like Depp or Reeves, but, as you said...

He is not the most popular guy at all... thus, a major hollywood name may heavily over-shadow the character. As in, Dr. Strange being seen as a Johnny Depp movie, rather than about Dr. Strange the character.

I think I prefer someone like Fiennes, but again... Jim Caveizel is my top pick.

You know this might be quirky enough for Depp to do it! And you know if he comes Burton would probably as well! Actually Guy Pierce might be more likely. Reeves and Walberg are both the same type of actors. It always seems like they'r playing the same character in every movie!

I don't think it would be an issue... I mean having a guy decked out in fancy red clothes, called 'Dormamu'... stepping through a dimensional portal, and casting eldrich bolts, should be fairly distinctive from GR.

Have his face be clearly red (as in the Ben10 pic), as opposed to GR's skull... I think it would be OK.

This is why I say it's the ballot or the bullet.
It's liberty or it's death.
It's freedom for everybody or freedom for nobody.
America today finds herself in a unique situation... to become involved in a bloodless revolution
